The incident took place at Xiaolan Railway Station on October 9 when the child was at the station with his father. The video, posted by CGTN on Twitter, shows a man going through security check and suddenly looking around him as if he were looking for someone. As he continues to look around for a few seconds you suddenly see a child emerging out of the X-ray machine. Turns out, the child had managed to sneak into the machine.

The video also goes on to show the silhouette of the child inside the machine while he sat next to luggage.

Surprising as it may be, this isn’t the first time something like this has happened. Back in February this year, a woman had also climbed into an X-ray machine in Dongguan, China, all so she could protect her bag from being stolen.

Many years ago when I was working for a State Department of Health I got to know the radiation survey officer. He told horror stories about ancient X-ray machines. He found one in an old chiropractor’s office that had absolutely no shielding around the X-ray tube and was irradiating everyone in the office including people in the waiting room every time it was used.
